Be happy with me

Good Job!

I smoked from the time I was 14 until I was 37, I am now 40. I met a woman who I started dating, who I am now married to. She looked at me and said, smoking is really gross. I threw away my pack and haven't looked back since.

It becomes A LOT easier with time. The smell of smoke now makes me nauseous and I wonder how I EVER smoked. Wait until your sense of taste comes back. LOL

Good luck to you. I am currently on day 2 of no smoking after a 27 year pack a day habit and although I still have the urge sometimes, I have resisted. That said, I don't think I would be where I am now had I not got on a smoking cessation program. While it may not work for all people, I am really surprised at how well it is working for me. I still have the urge sometimes (upon wake-up, after eating, etc.) but it's more from habit than the actual need. Once again, good luck on your journey to be smoke free.

that's awesome. keep it up.

Grats Ay, and keep up the good work. I'm approaching my 2 year smoke-free mark. If you decide to go to zero, and use an aid, I personally had the best luck with lozenges, but those were also a challenge to stop.

Congratulations!

[Hobgoblin]

awesome job.

I just quit about 6 months ago.

I came home from work and caught my 10 year old smoking my cig butts.

I tossed the pack and and havnt looked back.

Congratulations, and good luck with sticking to it. If the urge ever gets too much, there's always eCigs. Haven't touched an analog (real cigarette) in 2 and a half years thanks to those.

Congrats to you!!! I smoked for 10 years and just quit this summer. It seems like you have quite a bit of support on the khyber forums, and I have to admit that support was the final link for me that got me to quit for good.

[Hordo]

Grats, man! Keep up the good work!

Last Sunday on the 9th on dec (my 40th birthday) I ve put down my cigarettes, not quit smoking just minimised it.

If I can keep this up I ll be very glad.

I would say even an old dog can learn a new trick, but you are still just a pup

Congrats - hope you go for completionist (no cigs for the rest of your life).


As long as you don't have to run an airport, you should be fine:

Grats Ay,

I smoked 2 packs a day for about 24 years, now down to a pack a week(3 a day-no smoking in car or house) and about to cut down even further than that. Keep going and hopefully we can both be totally without soon

I would quit cold turkey now, but afraid I would start smoking something else after quitting that 7 years ago...need something to clear my brain when I'm stressed and writing term papers for college at the age of not quite 40

[Anzanel]

Congrats Ayspam! Keep it up!

All these quitting stories are great to read.

[Feralthyrtiaq]

And happy birthday! My 42nd was Dec 8th!

[Meat-Head]

Grats dude.

[GeneralDiomedes]

I used to smoke socially for many years, and to be honest I wasn't able to quit until they banned smoking indoors in my city. When it's all around you, really hard to not give in.

[ayspam]

that's pretty close to Ay's actual picture

You know what Sascha.

I ll be driving thru Munich next week, how bout we meet up for a beer, and I ll stuff that garbage down your face )) ?

[ayspam]

BTW

Merry Christmas to all.

Especially to Teth, Sem, Zack, and to all those mutts who abandoned ship.

Ye like you Sith, Clay, Lost, Crawford, etc.

P.S.
Means a lot that some of you actually texted me shows that we did become good friends I know we ll get together in the future, and have a blast

[MeliCat]

That's pretty awesome Ay - yes very definitely happy for you. And hope you had a happy birthday to go along with your seasons's greetings.
